So, I've been thinking about how I want to start taking walks again - usually the thinking takes a lot longer, but this morning the sun was shining, my legs hurt already from working in the garden + a day of post-holiday library labor (bookdrop never stopped), so I decided to just go. Woo! It was good! I went a way I've never gone before, which kept it interesting. I took some pictures, I listened to some music, I crossed the street rather than walk by the sketchy guy outside the hardware store (which of course meant he 'hey, how you doin''-ed at me across the street), I walked by lots of really great houses with really lousy gardens, and lots (and lots) of beautiful gardens. Here are a few pictures - I wish I'd taken more, but there was walking and thinking to do!
top row: Allium from my yard; bee balm, which reminds me I want to get bee balm; the biggest poppy pods I've ever seen - they were as big as my fist!
second row: awesome chalk t-rex; they were watering grass at the cemetery - I had to climb a rock to get this picture over the fence. (I hope no one saw my graceful rock ascent and descent); I like these stone mosaic pavers
third row: restaurant on fremont - love that huge rusty thing, whatever it is; RED TRIM on the upholstery shop; mossy checkerboard in someone's driveway strip.
when I got home I used mapitnow to recreate my route, which was totally fun and then got home and made my photo mosaic with fd's flickr toys, which was also totally fun. TOTALLY FUN.
that restaurant on Fremont used to be one of my favorites. Loud though. And for the life of me I can't remember it's name!
ReplyDeleteFife? I think it's Soluna or something like that now. Do you think it's the design of the building that makes it loud?
ReplyDeleteYes, Fife! I think the building design had a lot to do with it. Plus, that building went up seemingly overnight. I don't want to be in when the big one hits!
